Chapter 10 – Uzumaki Naruto!
(This is a week after Hinata came…it's now…Thursday!)
"Okay…..You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish this test…Hajime!" Kakashi announced as all the students started on their tests.
All the students were having a hard time answering the questions, while Shikamaru, Sasuke, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Tenten, and Neji were having an easy time answering all the questions, as if it's only a quiz or an assignment.
After 45 minutes, Sakura and Sasuke finished their tests.
"Very fast…good." Kakashi said as he took Sasuke and Sakura' s test paper.
Sasuke and Sakura sat down on their chairs but then Kakashi called Sakura.
"uh….well…go to the library since…if you stay here you'll just annoy you're classmates…like always…but that was before…I know you wouldn't do that anymore….but….just go to the library…" Kakashi said.
Sakura sighed but then agreed since that was what they used to do when they get bored. ('they' means Tenten, Ino, and Sakura. They annoy people when they got bored.)
"And Sakura!" Kakashi called. "Bring Sasuke with you…the other students will be sent to the library as soon as they finished their tests…We'll have our next class in the library."
"Fine."
Sakura went towards Sasuke's seat, grab his wrists, and then pulled him towards the door, which caught everyone's attention.
When they got out of the classroom Sasuke, this time, grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her towards him, so she would stop walking.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked.
"Library…Kakashi said we'll have our next class in there." Sakura answered.
Sasuke laughed. "Do you have to pull me?"
"Yes." Sakura replied, annoyed.
"Whatever….Let's go." Sasuke laughed, as he pulled Sakura towards the library.
"Great! Now you have to pull me, huh?" Sakura said.
"Yup."
They went inside the Library and found no one in there. Sakura sat on a chair, while Sasuke looked for some books. After looking around, Sasuke sat beside Sakura empty handed.
"No good books to read?" Sakura asked.
"Hn."
"I see…" Sakura smiled.
"Wanna play 20 questions?" Sasuke grinned, after a long silence.
"No thanks…I don't know how to play it….and I'm not in the mood to play it." Sakura smirked.
"Then let me ask you five questions…you don't have to ask me anything if you want." Sasuke said..
"Fine." Sakura agreed.
"okay! Uh…Have you ever been in love?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes." Sakura answered.
"Who was your first love?"
Sakura didn't answer.
"You need to answer you know."
"Whatever…you…" Sakura responded and the blushed so she looked down.
Sasuke smirked. He lifted her chin, so she would look at him.
"Did you love anyone after that guy?" Sasuke asked.
"No." Sakura replied.
"Okay…next…Have you ever kissed anyone before?"
Sakura blushed.
"No."
Sasuke was not surprised. Sakura was cold anyway...she would certainly don't want any boy going near her, except for Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru who were her friends.
"Okay…Who would you want to give your first kiss then?"
"Do you have to ask that?" Sakura asked annoyed.
"Yes." Sasuke grinned.
"Fine, You!" Sakura almost shouted, blushing so she again looked away.
Sasuke laughed. "There's no need to get angry, right?"
Sasuke once again lifted Sakura's chin so she would look at him.
"I'm not angry…." Sakura mumbled. "I'm just…."
"Embarrassed?" Sasuke smirked.
Sakura blushed more and then nodded.
"It's your turn!" Sasuke announced after a short silence.
"Ha?" Sakura asked.
"It's you're turn to ask me 5 questions…if you would like to…" Sasuke explained.
"Oh….okay…" Sakura said thinking of a good question to ask…and then she had an idea.
"Have you ever been in love?" Sakura asked, grinning.
"Yes." Sasuke replied.
"Who was your first love?"
Sasuke didn't answer.
"You need to answer, you know?" Sakura smirked.
"You're repeating what I asked you…aren't you?" Sasuke asked, eyebrows raised.
" And So?"
"It's not good."
"Who said so?" Sakura asked still smirking. "No body said you can't ask the same question when playing 20 questions, right?"
"Well…yeah…but—Wait a minute! You know how to play 20 questions!" Sasuke said.
"Of course I do!" Sakura laughed. "Now answer, would ya?"
Sasuke sighed. "Fine…You…"
Sakura can't believe what she heard. It means they both love each other, either before or now. She also can't believe what she was seeing…Sasuke was blushing!
Sakura laughed.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"You're blushing."
Sasuke blushed more. "It's not like you didn't blush a while ago!" Sasuke argued.
"Whatever…" Sakura said and then the door of the library opened.
Neji, Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Tenten entered the library.
"Hey!" Tenten greeted. Ino sat down in front of Sakura and Tenten sat beside Ino. Hinata sat beside Sakura.
"Hey…" Sakura greeted.
"What were you doing?" Shikamaru asked. Shikamaru sat beside Ino, and Neji sat beside Tenten.
"Nothing…" Sasuke and Sakura replied.
"We heard you laughing…" Ino said pointing at Sakura.
"I did…but it doesn't mean we were doing something…" Sakura said.
"Yes it does." Neji smirked. Hinata nodded.
"We were just playing…20 questions…." Sasuke answered.
"I see…" Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Shikamaru, and Neji said.
After a few minutes, the other students came and Kakashi was last(Of course!). They continued with their studies until the bell rang and then they had break.
The next day… (Friday…)
"Haruno-san ohayo!" The girl that Sakura slapped when Sasuke's group first entered the school, greeted.
"Ohayo…" Sakura greeted back.
This morning, Sakura and the others found out that Hinata lived near their houses too so they went to school all together and told Hinata where their meeting place is so she could go to school with them everyday.
After a long time of waiting, their teacher Kakashi at last came and they started their class.
"Okay class…Here is your tests." Kakashi said. "When I call your name, please stand up and get your paper from me."
A lot of names were called, alphabetically.
"Haruno Sakura." Sakura stood up and took her test paper.
"Hyuuga Hinata." Hinata also stood up and took her paper.
"Hyuuga Neji." Neji stood up and took his too.
More names were called.
" Nara Shikamaru" Shikamaru walked in front lazily and took his paper.
More names. (I can't think of any names to put so sorry! )
"Temari…"
"Tenten" Tenten stood up and got her test, a smile on her face.
"Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke took his test paper.
"Yamanaka Ino." Ino took hers and then smiled.
"And that is all!" Kakashi said. "Let's continue with our subject would we?"
During the last class…
Their last class was P.E. and their teacher is Asuma.
"Hello class!" Asuma yelled so everyone could hear him…since they were in the gymnasium.
"Hello Asuma-sensei…" The class answered emotionlessly.
"Today we are playing Dodge ball and since the amount of boys and girls in this class is equal…I guess we'll just play boys vs. girls." Asuma announced.
The game started and one by one people got touched so they got 'out'.
"Temari!" Tenten shouted as Shino threw the ball at Temari.
The ball missed Temari and Sakura caught the ball 'accidentally' since she wasn't moving much, except if she needs to dodge or throw. (She was at the back of Temari)
"Thanks." Temari said to Tenten.
Sakura threw the ball and it hit Shino so now only Kiba, Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru were left.
Hinata was the girls' team's gaiya so she took the ball and threw it at Kiba but Kiba caught it. Kiba threw it at Temari who didn't get to dodge the ball so she was out. It is now only Sakura, Tenten, and Ino.
Ino took the ball and aimed at Kiba. Kiba lost his balance and got hit by the ball and he was out!
At the boys' side, only Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Neji were left, Chouji the gaiya, and at the girls' side, only Sakura, Tenten, and Ino were left. Hinata the gaiya.
Hinata had the ball and threw it at Sasuke who, of course, caught it. Sasuke threw the ball at Sakura and Sakura caught it. Sakura passed it to Tenten. Tenten threw the ball at Neji and Neji caught it. (confusing, right?…I don't know how to explain it…)
After a few minutes, the boys' side and the girls' side still had 4 players. No body has been 'out' yet since someone always caught every ball they threw. Asuma gave them a break for a while so they could drink. Their game will still continue later.
"I have –pant- a plan…" Sakura said.
"What –pant- is –pant- it?" Tenten and Ino asked.
" I have a –pant- plan too." Hinata said. Hinata didn't move as much as the 3 other girls did so she's not that tired.
They shared each others plans and then put it in one.
"Break over!" Asuma yelled.
The boys went to their side with Chouji being the gaiya. Sakura, Tenten, and Ino went to their places and Hinata went to her place. It was girls' balls so Ino had the ball.
Ino threw the ball high and the boys didn't get to move since it the ball was fast and in a swift moment Hinata had the ball and threw it at Shikamaru who didn't get to dodge.
"Nara! You're out!" Asuma yelled.
"Ke…mendokuse…" Shikamaru mumbled. Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten were smirking. (Imagine Hinata smirking!)
Sasuke and Neji were the only ones left. Neji had the ball and he threw it at Tenten. Tenten caught it and then passed it to Hinata. Hinata caught it and threw it at Sasuke but Sasuke dodge the ball. Ino took the ball and passed it to Sakura. Sakura acted like she was about to throw the ball high and Neji was already waiting for it, but Sakura threw the ball towards him so he got out.
"Hyuuga! Out!" Asuma yelled again.
Neji sighed. 'need more training…'
Sasuke was the only one left. Chouji had the ball. Chouji threw the ball at Ino but Ino caught it. Ino aimed at Sasuke but he just caught it again. He threw it back at Ino who didn't get to doge the ball.
"Yamanaka! Out!" Asuma announced getting tired of yelling.
Sasuke smirked and Sakura was annoyed.
Hinata had the ball and she threw it high so that Sakura could get it but Sasuke jumped up and took the ball. Once his feet touched the floor again, he threw the ball at Tenten. Because it happened too fast, Tenten didn't get to dodge.
"Tenten! You're out…!" Asuma sighed. 'this game is taking a long time…'
Sasuke smirked at Sakura and Sakura was very annoyed.
"You're next…" Sasuke said still smirking.
"In your dreams…" Sakura answered. Sasuke chuckled.
Hinata once again had the ball. She threw it at Sakura, making sure it was high enough. Sakura caught it and threw it at Sasuke. Sasuke dodged and grabbed the ball as it bounced in the floor. He threw it at Sakura and Sakura caught it. She threw it at Hinata, making sure it was high enough too. Hinata caught the ball and threw it at Sasuke. Sasuke caught the ball and then throwing it at Chouji. Chouji took the ball and aimed for Sakura's feet. He threw the ball as he aimed. Ino, Hinata, and Tenten, who saw this, smirked. (Hinata knows a lot about all of them now.)
'He doesn't know that, that is not Sakura's weakest point….she's actually good at that spot…' Tenten, Ino, and Hinata thought.
Sakura saw the ball going towards her feet and smirked. She kicked the ball up and then caught it. She threw it at Sasuke and Sasuke dodged. Hinata took the ball and threw it up high. Sasuke jumped and tried to take the ball but he couldn't. It was too high. Sakura jumped, caught the ball, and then threw it at Sasuke (impossible?). Sasuke was hit.
Asuma smiled. 'Haruno really doesn't like losing…'
"Uchiha! You're out!" Asuma yelled again.
"Che." Sasuke said.
Sakura was sweating and was panting, a lot, for the first time. All the girls sheered and some was hugging each other. Sakura, too tired to move, sat down on the ground, still panting.
Shikamaru and Neji went towards Sasuke.
"I can't believe girls beat us…" Shikamaru said.
"I agree." Neji said.
"Whatever…" Sasuke said and went towards Sakura.
Tenten, Hinata, and Ino were already there with water and towel in hand.
"You okay?" Sasuke asked. It took Sakura along time before she answered again.
"I –pant- think so…." Sakura replied.
Sasuke smirked. Neji and Shikamaru appeared from behind.
"Hey! Nice game!" Neji grinned.
"I like the part when you kicked the ball…" Shikamaru added.
Hinata, Ino, and Tenten laughed. Sakura smiled.
"Here." Ino said giving Sakura the bottle of water.
"Thanks." Sakura thanked before drinking the whole water in the bottle.
Hinata went behind Sakura and wiped her back.
"You shouldn't let your sweat dry…you'll get sick…" Hinata smiled at Sakura who was still drinking water.
Hinata and Sakura got close very easily since Sakura is Hinata's seatmate. But of course, they treat each other equally.
"Thanks…" Sakura said.
When they were all done helping Sakura, Asuma said it was time to go.
Sasuke helped Sakura up and then the 3 girls helped Sakura go towards the girls' changing room, while Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru headed for the boys' changing room.
When they all got finished changing, they were all about to go home when Sakura's ketai rang.
"Hello?" Sakura greeted.
"Sakura-chan!" Somebody from the end of the line yelled.
Sakura smiled and Tenten and Ino sweat-dropped.
"Naru-chan…." Sakura laughed.
"Eh? Sakura-chan you're laughing? What happened to you?" Naruto asked.
"Nothing…anyway..what's up?" Sakura asked.
"Oh! I'm just so excited! I'm going there tomorrow! Yay! YAY!" Naruto said cheerfully.
Sakura and Naruto's conversation continued.
"Ano…who is Naru-chan?" Hinata asked.
"OH yeah! You didn't know Naru-chan…" Ino said.
Hinata nodded.
"Naru-chan is Sakura's childhood friend and he is really sweet and caring." Tenten explained.
"And loud." Ino added. "But of course…we love him even though he's like that…He's real name is Naruto."
"Naruto…" Hinata whispered.
"Love?" Shikamaru asked. He was jelous. He doesn't want Ino telling people she loved them.
"As a friend, of course." Ino laughed.
Sakura and Naruto's conversation ended a few minutes after and then they headed home again.
"Ne, Sakura….want to hang out tomorrow? Karaoke or something?" Tenten asked.
"Gomen…I can't…Naru-chan's coming tomorrow and I still have to pick him up at the train station." Sakura apologized. "Perhaps Sunday?"
"Sure!" Tenten said.
"I'm in!" Ino smiled.
"Me too." Hinata smiled.
"And you guys?" Sakura asked Neji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke.
"We'll go if we are allowed too." The trio grinned.
"Of course you are…" Tenten said.
"then we'll go." The trio answered in unison.
"Okay…Let's go home!" Ino and Hinata said and then giggled.
Next day…
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
Sakura groaned. 'Time to wake up already?' Sakura thought and then hit the button to stop her alarm clock.
Sakura stood up and then took a shower. After taking a shower Sakura chose something to wear and then got dressed. Sakura wore a brown cargo and a black T-shirt that says: Here I go! In white letters.
'Here I go…well that fits me for today! Here I go towards Naru-chan!' Sakura thought and then laughed.
Sakura ate breakfast and then called Takahashi to pick her up at her apartment.
After a few minutes…
DING DONG!
Sakura took her ketai and wallet and then opened the door.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu Ojosama" Takahashi greeted.
"Ohayo Takahashi…" Sakura greeted back and then smiled.
Takahashi who saw this smiled back. 'I haven't seen Madame smile for a long time…'
"Let's go!" Sakura said.
They both got in the car and they headed towards the train station. When they arrived there it was crowded so they waited until the crowd gets less.
After a few minutes of waiting, they got out and Sakura looked for Naruto.
There stood a blonde boy, around Sakura's age, looking lost. Sakura smiled.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Sakura called. And the blonde boy looked towards her.
